* Will there be handtrucks available? I'm bringing a bit of stuff in a large bin so it'd be nice to easily transport it from my car to whatever building/room.

Unfortunately i don't have any stuff like this to to offer. If you have an especially large load, you can enter main campus through the gate immediately behind Bartley hall (please see the map on the Building and locations thread) and temporarily park right behind the building while unloading. Just tell the guard you are here for an event in Bartley and are parking only to unload, and they should tell you where to park and enter the building. The building does have elevators for going up to the rooms.

Is there any other kind of schedule yet, other then it opens around 11? Such as raffle drawing is at <time>, presentation <something> will be at <time> etc?

So I posted a loose schedule over in the presentations thread, but here's a guess at how events are going to go overall:

Setup 10-11AM - come if you have to set stuff up, or if you want to help others do the sameDoors open at 11AM11AM-1PM people arriving, setting up their boards and such1PM-5 or 6 PM (Depends on how things move) presentations and demos, GeekHack-A-Thon event5 or 6PM - raffle drawings6-8PM - hanging out, planning for dinner/drinks

Again, awesome to meet everyone in real life, felt really welcomed. Been drifting away from the hobby the past few months, and this definitely pulled me back in (for better or for worse ) Big shoutout to Att1cus for hosting us, it was a perfect spot and definitely heightened the experience for everyone. Also thanks to Varmillo to my awesome new keyboard, absolutely digging it.

So glad I was able to make it through on my way up north! It was great seeing some of the folks I met years back in Asheville, some of the DC crew, and so many new friends too. Next time i'll be able to stay much longer! It was a lot of fun, thanks att1cus!

I'm very glad I came up! I had a wonderful time and it was totally worth the drive. I love getting to meet all you cool keyboard folk. I'm never disappointed by how chill and interesting and fun everyone is!

Thanks to everyone who came out and super special thanks to att1cus! The venue was awesome!!

If any of the Varmilo donated keyboards raffle winners could please post some pictures and a few words on how you like the boards, we've had a request from Varmilo for feedback. Thanks!

I hope they don't mind if I put some different keycaps on them. So, the build quality is very, very nice. The stabilized keys honestly have the best feel on the whole board. Stock cherry browns are stock cherry browns (wish I could lube them, but alas no cutouts, as expected). My biggest gripe is the LEDs make GMK sets unable to fully depress. I will probably end up having to file off the front edge of the LEDs due to this. Otherwise, the ability to swap control and caps lock OTG is great. I'm sure I'll really enjoy this board fully once I am removed of my LED problems.

Time to order some 1.8mm to avoid that problem :)

I might if I was really interested in LEDs but if I desolder I'm probably not putting back in haha

How do you switch caps/control?

I will post pictures today, along with a short review. Like Fendent, I've already switched out the caps, but the stock caps are honestly pretty great either way.

Hold Fn+Left Control for three seconds or so.

Also yeah the stock caps are very nice. Remind me of WhiteFox

Additionally I'd suggest giving instructions on the key combinations like that or how to control the LEDs and whatnot.
